• Abstract

  Feeding rapidly growing urban populations is a global challenge, which strains the Food-Water-Energy Nexus through increasing water and energy demands and environmental pollution. CITYFOOD provides innovative solutions to this daunting environmental challenge by integrating aqua-agriculture (IAAC) systems into cities on a broader scale. IAAC multitrophic food production systems optimize f…

• Abstract

  The growth rate of farmed fish is one of the most important factors for the success of aquaculture. Thus, the understanding of cellular events that occur in skeletal muscle when fish undergo periods of starvation and refeeding, can support the proposition of alternative strategies to benefit muscle growth of fish, while promoting lower production cost. The aim of this study is to investig…

• Abstract

  Traceability is the ability to find out in the history, use or origin of certain food. It is fundamental for the concept of food safety, quality and animal welfare to assure the authenticity and origin of food and final products (meat, milk, eggs), then consumers may know and evaluate the productive chain of the food they consume, as the population expects more reliable information from p…

• Abstract

  Biofloc technology (BFT) is characterized as an aquaculture system with minimal or no water exchange, with high storage densities, sustained by the formation of a microbial community which, beyond maintaining suitable water quality to produce cultivated aquatic organisms, serves as food supplement for them. However, this system can occasionally generate larger concentrations of nutrients …

• Abstract

  Investments in sustainable food production technologies which consume less water, nutrients, and energy are needed to meet the growing demand for food. The integration of biofloc technology with plant production in a decoupled FLOCponic system (DFP) is an alternative for it. Mathematical models are excellent tools to demonstrate the real efficiency of this system and understanding the dyn…

• Abstract

  Overexploitation of marine resources is a major problem worldwide and threatens food security for humanity and many commercially important fish species are suffering from overexploitation (FAO, 2018). So, aquaculture is the only solution for the increase of seafood production, while at the same time aiding in the conservation of marine fish stocks, by reducing the fishing pressure from so…

• Abstract

  The growth rate of farmed fish is one of the most important factors for successful aquaculture. The understanding of the cellular events that occur in skeletal muscle when the fish undergo periods of fasting and refeeding can result in alternative feed strategies to improved muscle growth of commercially cultivated species, while promoting reduction of cost production. The aim of this stu…
